Many of us that have
been involved in the
planning process may
have felt that 2009
was a long way off
when we were awarded
the opportunity to
host this convention
back in 2005. Well
folks, it's a near
term reality for us
today.
Randy Killian our
intrepid Convention
Chairman and his
staff have been
working with our
convention liaison
from St. Louis,
Melissa Bohlmann for
months (and months)
already. We will all
need to recognize
the tremendous
opportunity to serve
both our fellow
Lutheran Laymen, and
to reach out to
thousands of people
in the Greensboro
area with the saving
message of Christ.
Last years
convention in
Lexington was a
great success. It
was an inspiration
for all of those
that had the
privilege to attend.
We have an
opportunity to
convene in the
Carolinas very
rarely and we need
to accept and
embrace the
challenges that
sheparding well over
a thousand people
from all over the
world will entail.
Let's all plan to
help to make this
convention the best
that it can be. Look
for opportunities to
serve, to do what
you can to support a
world-wide and local
ministry mission
outreach, the
Lutheran Hour and
our International
Lutheran Laymen's
League. Look for
opportunities to
SHARE HIS STORY!
Please check back
for more important
and exciting
information, but
first...mark your
calendars!

International
Convention
Lexington, Kentucky

The Indiana District
is thrilled to host
the most exciting
International
Lutheran Laymen’s
League (Int’l LLL)
event of 2008, when
the 91st
international
convention comes to
Lexington, Kentucky,
July 24-27. Within a
day’s drive of 68
percent of the U.S.
population,
Lexington is a great
site for what
promises to be a
memorable event!
The Commonwealth of
Kentucky has branded
itself a state with
“Unbridled Spirit.”
The state says,
“Kentucky is a place
where spirits are
free to soar and big
dreams can be
fulfilled. We relish
competition and
cherish our
champions for their
desire to push
beyond conventional
boundaries to reach
new heights of
success.”
In the Int’l LLL, we
know about an even
more powerful
spirit—the Holy
Spirit—who fills us
with the hope we
have in our
champion, Jesus
Christ. We will
celebrate the Spirit
as we meet under our
convention theme,
“Live by the
Spirit,” from
Galatians 5:16. It
is our prayer that
the convention will
refresh and renew
your faith and, by
God’s grace, bring
you closer to Him.
Guest speaker Pat
Day, one of the most
accomplished horse
jockeys in North
American history,
did not live by the
Spirit early in his
career. Despite his
success as a jockey,
he turned to a
self-destructive
pattern of alcohol
and cocaine. His
life was spinning
out of control when
he heard the Gospel
message and realized
his need for the
Savior. Day will
share how God has
blessed him
throughout his life
and his career as a
jockey. He will
share how the Holy
Spirit can work
through imperfect
people.
You will also be
uplifted by events
such as The
Lutheran Hour
Rally, devotions,
worship services,
and outreach
training workshops.
